For any of you that live in Sydney, thought I'd let you know about the "Celebrating Motherhood" exhibition organised by Amelia McFarlane (friend of my sister). It's a collaboration of creative works by 22 artists to help raise money for Breast Cancer Research and Amelia's mother, Judi McFarlane's treatment.

CELEBRATING MOTHERHOOD EXHIBITION

FROM OCTOBER 19TH 2010

102 Burton St, Darlinghurst Sydney

Artists include: Marnie Wark, Amy Prior, Kirsty Shadiac, Megan Morton, Rebecca Cool (event photo), James Gordon, Lisa Cooper, Tory Bauer, Minnie Taylor, Sam Barrett, Jodie Fried, Greig Fraser, Imogen Wiseman, Amikka May, Kara Loan, Sophie DuBois, Lauren Horton, Amanda McLaughlin, Janet McLearie, Krew Boylan, Carly Schwerdt, Rebecca Trevitt, & Amelia McFarlane.

Among this list of artists is my sister and ME!!!! This is the first time I've been asked to exhibit, so a little nervous, but it's for such a good cause, it was very easy to say 'yes', but secretly thinking 'SHIT SHIT, OMG, people will actually be looking at my painting!!!!! I hope they like it!!! Well, here it is, I've named her 'NATIVE MOTHER', charcoal and oils on a linen fabric canvas. (click on image to see larger) My sister's beautiful piece is a tapestry of our mother's face, I don't have a photo, but I can tell you my sister is a wiz with her hands, always making, beading, painting or finding things on the side of the road and turning them into master pieces!!!!!



So, if you are looking for something to do, go have a look at these pieces of art inspired by motherhood, then when you get home go ring your MUM and have a chat!!!!!! Because, 'We' mums are very precious!!!!! X X
